Mother of a Man Lyrics by Mick Jagger

Wandering Spirit

1993

[Verse 1]
See looka here, wanna see my gun?
It's an Uzi and it packs a lot of punch
It sure is loud, I got it fixed
You wanna feel, you wanna touch this little bitch?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna testify
It's a crazy world out there
I wanna tell ya now
That it's a brutal world out there
[Chorus]
I'm just a mother of a man
I've got the stopper in my hand
Judge and jury, help me, please
Ain't gonna get down on my knees
Oh no, God help me now
[Verse 2]
You know my wife, she don't feel safe
Since we had a lot of trouble near our place
These kids are poor, I know it's hard
But why'd they have to do it in their own backyard?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna testify
That it's a crazy world out there
I don't have to tell you
It's a barbaric world out there
[Chorus]
I'm just a mother of a man
I wanna take the witness stand
Judge and jury, help me, please
The sirens sound, the streets all bleed
[Post-Chorus]
I'm just a mother of a man
Just a mother of a man
Oh yeah, God help me now
[Harmonica and guitar solos]
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna testify
That it's a crazy, crazy, crazy world out there
I wanna tell ya now
That it's a barbaric world out there
[Chorus]
I'm just a mother of a man
I wanna take the witness stand
Judge and jury help me, please
The sirens cry, the streets all bleed
[Post-Chorus]
I'm just a mother of a man
Here I stand, here I stand
I'm just a mother of a man
Yeah, mother of a man
Yeah, God, help me now
[Ad libs]
